|
|
Hi
I went to a swapmeet today on the lookout for some parts for my 62 bug.
I got my hands on a set of four almost mint hubcaps for it for 200kr (around 30$)
I also bought a set of originale tail light lenses made by Hella.
They were in Nice condition and i payed 100kr (around 15$)
The thing is, the are different from the regular lenses i had, ive never seen these before and i can't find any anywhere else... Are these lenses rare?
Here is the lense
Here it is next to a regular Hella lense _________________ My Beetle Is 35 Years Older Then Me! |

Those are euro lenses. I have them on my Scottish RHD. I don't think they are really rare. |

The one on the right is Euro and not rare, but the one on the left is odd and I've never seen one. |

If that is true, the original poster needs to crush them with a large hammer.
No God-fearing Norwegian should have anything that a Swede has touched. |
